** ''Tardis'' is still a police box that's BiggerOnTheInside (somehow), but its interior consists of only one room built very haphazardly. There's no hexagonal console, time rotor, or roundels -- just a great many random buttons, wires, and switches... and a single lever is all that controls the space/time travel mechanism. Also, no [[MostWonderfulSound vworp noise]].

* LiteraryAgentHypothesis: ''I Am The Doctor'' by John Peel, an unofficial 2007 magazine one-shot in which the ten Doctors described themselves in their own words, also included a piece by Barbara (TV version) describing how she and Ian sold the details of their first two Dalek encounters to a film studio, and how much the resulting movies changed everything.
** Later expanded upon in the 2018 novelization of ''Day Of The Doctor'' in which the movie is stated to actually be a real film within canon, and that the Doctor was close friends with Peter Cushing before the film was made.

** Ian is Barbara's boyfriend, neither of them is a teacher, and both are teenagers.
